The confidential survey polled more than 100 players in the NFL, with 82 players responding to the question regarding Obama’s stance on marijuana. The league has more than 1,600 players.

Despite marijuana’s legalization in Colorado and Washington state, it is still banned in the NFL. Players who test positive for marijuana can face a variety of penalties, including game suspensions. For example, the league recently handed down a yearlong suspension to Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon for violating its drug policy. A league spokesman would not say whether ongoing discussions about changing the NFL’s drug policy with regard to marijuana are taking place, ESPN reported. A poll conducted earlier this year by HBO Real Sports and Marist College found that 62 percent of Americans said marijuana should remain banned in professional sports.

However, Obama has also weighed in on the dangers of football as well.

“I’m a big football fan, but I have to tell you, if I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play football,” Obama told The New Republic in February. “And I think that those of us who love the sport are going to have to wrestle with the fact that it will probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence.”
